Cohabitation Breakdown

Though you may believe that your relationship will last forever, unfortunately, a lot of partnerships do break down and cohabitation ends. When partners decide they no longer want to live together, there are often important matters to discuss but finding a solution is not always easy. For example, you may need to organise arrangements for the children and how to sort out your finances. These decisions can be difficult, especially if you have opposing opinions and different wants, and reaching a fair conclusion that everyone is happy with doesn’t come easy. This is why many couples turn to professionals like Jacky Lewis, to guide them through the process and to a happy agreement.
